Eggless Beer Bread
Homemade bread doesn't have to involve eggs, and this simple loaf is proof that a few pantry staples can produce something genuinely impressive. The beer does the heavy lifting here — its carbonation and natural yeast activity react with the baking powder to give the loaf a satisfying rise and a slightly malty, complex flavor you just can't fake. A generous pour of melted butter over the top before baking creates a deeply golden, almost crispy crust that makes the whole kitchen smell incredible. The batter comes together in one bowl with just a quick stir, so there's no mixer, no proofing, and no fuss. It bakes up dense but tender, with a rustic, hearty crumb that's perfect for slicing thick and slathering with butter. Whether you're serving it alongside a bowl of soup or just tearing into it warm from the oven, this is the kind of bread that disappears fast.
